CBA Awards Program

It is very important that EACH OPERATOR MEMBER take advantage of this opportunity to recognize your employees, your company, or your peers. Each of you has someone to be proud of, and we would like the entire CBA Membership have the opportunity to appreciate them.

Time Saving Tip - Do you hate filling out forms? Did you submit an application last year for an outstanding driver or maintenance technician? Want to save some time? Contact Alice Lemon at the CBA office and ask to resubmit last year's application for the upcoming year's awards. For a driver and/or maintenance application you will need to submit an updated Motor Vehicle report.

Our major sponsors go to great lengths in their support of our CBA activities EVERY YEAR. It is important that, as Operator Members, we make them feel that they are appreciated and that they are getting a “bang for their buck”!!!!

As a reminder, all nominees' employers or businesses must be CBA members in good standing in order to be considered for an award. We are happy to reach out to any member whose employee or company is under consideration to resolve any concerns.

Please check back with us in the summer for the 2025 Award Nomination Forms.
